- For comment on series see 1857,0411.25. The engraving is cited in Ludwig Schorn's German translation of Vasari's life of Botticelli: 'Leben der ausgezeichnetsten Maler, Bildhauer und Baumeister, von Cimabue bis zum Jahre 1567 beschrieben von Giorgio Vasari', vol. ii (part ii), Stuttgart and Tübingen, 1839, n. 30. p. 250. Prints from the 'Reale Galleria di Firenze' series were therefore clearly published before the first volume of text in 1841.
